You've got to love this stuff.Howard is probably my favorite.His story,"The Pigeons of Hell",has always been the one to give me nightmares.If you ever travel through the deep South you'll know what I mean.
Boris Karloff's "Thriller" did a dramatisation on that story. You can watch it on RUclips.
Back in the early 90’s I was into the monthly Conan magazines that would also have a short Solomon/Kull story. Thanks to HorrorBabble I am now a well rounded REH fan. Ian and Jennifer are the best thing on RUclips
I recently read this story, and I really like the Conrad and Kirowan stories. Robert E. Howard was truly a genious.

HorrorBabble and R.E. Howard make an unbeatable combo! 😎👻🙌
This is one of my all time favorites.
It portrays so perfectly that deep down fear all of us share......the fear that the only escape individuals of any theology assume to have is not without its own terrible consequences.
Thank you for that story; you are an amazing reader.👍👍
I've been searching for a channel just like this. Thank you.
Blamed it too candidly on drugs - I laughed - brilliant delivery for that line.
I'm just now listening to it too. Superb story and narrator.
Well done! Your narration of Robert E Howard's works are among my most favorites. Thank you Mr. Gordon and Horror Babble. Excellent as always. I look forward to discovering more these. Until next time.
Thank you again for another brilliantly narrated piece. I have an 18 month old and don’t have much time to myself ( as you can imagine lol) but I always make sure before bed I give myself this treat: to listen to your amazing narrations. Thank you. It really helps me relax and then sleep xx
Thank you Lee - that's nice to hear!
Also I would like to say if you need a voluntary hand with merchandising I’m all yours
Thanks for the offer, Lee!
When it comes to Howard, I've only read a handful of Conan and Solomon Kane short stories. Is this representative of his horror? Because, damn, this has a much more sinister edge than most of his peers from the same era.
I'm not so familiar with Howard as I am Lovecraft and Smith, but I'm enjoying what I've tackled thus far. This story is a little formulaic, though it's certainly worthy of inclusion on the channel. Ian
It used “darkness” so much that I thought it was a Kingdom Hearts transcript
Ha
One of the absolute best!
One of my favorites I loved this especially the Malek Taus twist. Very cool!
I love REH...well done Ian!👍
The interesting thing is that the protagonist gets it wrong. Melek Taus isn't a demon, but instead generally an advocate of mankind and one of the prime good beings in the yadzi religion.
Just the thing for a cold and windy night when sleep will not come.
i like the extra little touch of the door-knocking sound
This narrator is superb!
I think this is one of my favorites that i have heard in a while. Thank you for this story. It definitely kept me very easily interested in it. Keep it up i dont know how id be avle to sleep without
Capital, as usual. Thank you 🙏🏽🎩🔝
I have been looking for this story for years. I read it in a book of tales, but I didn't remember who wrote it or its title. Thank you.
Thank you, Ian.
Excellent reading Ian! I love this story.
Thank you for uploading these stories.
Brilliant, thank you very much! Beautifully done!
One of the best robert e howard horror stories read with excellent narration
What joy, a new old one I haven't listened to yet! Once again that beautiful voice intones....
Oh my most dear Horror Babblers,
You are no fair weather rabblers.
But labor worth'ly at thy art,
Conduce the listener's worried start.
Conjuring visions well indeed,
Perhaps encouraging others,
To read.
So let me laud you once again,
'Er the stars come right,
And all is done in.
This was a great reading; Robert E. Howard has some awesome horror stories. Congratulations on hitting 10k! That's another step closer to world domination. (Which I can only assume is your long-term goal 😉)
Thanks Joshua! Naturally, you are absolutely correct. ;) Ian
Wholeness and balanced vibrations thanks for the upload
Another great reading, Mr. Gordon!
Thank you Genie! Ian
I love this one.
Well done. I hope to hear new Howard readings in the future.
Thanks Nicholas - Pigeons from Hell will be recorded before the end of the year.
This one is a regular visitor, weirdly.
Great story. I missed this one.
I read this story a long, long time ago, didn't recall the title or author. It's definitely creepy...
Terribly terrifying
Ah I love the intro music!
You can download it for free, here: horrorbabble.bandcamp.com/album/lovecraft-into-the-abyss

What a maroon. Shoulda taken a left at Albuquerque.
YES
Sorry, but I would have no problem asking questions of this guy that mysteriously appeared, as long as he wasn't after me.
If you see this, can you record a version of REH's classic novella SKULL-FACE.
whatever happened to "Skull-Face" by REH? Luckily I downloaded it, but I cant find it online anymore....
It was, at the time, a problematic story for the channel - we'll probably restore it eventually though. For now, it's free to stream on our Bandcamp page. Cheers Roland!
mmm - not the ending i expected ? ✨😈
Really enjoy your channel 🤗...my question is, how do you decide which stories to narrate and post? And do you have a cue of several weeks or months ahead?
We might have to put the Q&A on the back burner for now VF - this is the only question we've received! So in answer to your question, we plan each month in advance, though 'life' and other distractions can affect those plans! We have a list of works in the public domain, to which we add requests and what not if they too are in the PD. Ian
Amazing what people considered Satanic back in those times...Voudun/Voodoo is no more Satanic than Shintoism. Both are forms of ancestor worship....Voudun and Voodoo focus on positive aspects of spiritual life 99.99 % of the time...See Wade Davis book, "The Serpent and the Rainbow" The book inspired the movie. The movie inspired the Godsmack song "Voodoo"😁
the lovecraft reference sticks out like a sore thumb
"For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" - Matthew 16:26
The more we change, the more the same. Victorians feared anything they didn't understand. Shintoism, indeed 😅 The overriding belief in Shinto is to promote harmony and purity in all aspects of life. Humans are thought of as being fundamentally good, and evil is caused by evil spirits. The purpose of Shinto, therefore, is to pray and offer to the kami to keep away evil spirits.
Sounds terrible, but with relatives, I want to go out the same way. I've got all the money, they're the assholes trying to get the money. It's going to be fun.
YES! He is HIDEOUS!
I like this, but not you're mispronunciation of the article "ye" in this and other narrations. In this case the corresponding modern article is "the". In old English it was pronounced the same as our "the" and was written as "þe", but most printers didn't have the "þ" (the letter thorn) symbol so substituted a "y" instead. It was never pronounced as the letter "y" but always similar to the "th" sound.
When it's the "ye" for the archaic pronoun (the multiple of "you" as in "Come all ye faithful") then it is pronounced "ye" but that's a very different meaning and more aligned with the modern "you".
Can you think about using the correct pronunciation please? It'd sound better, clearer, and more historically accurate too.
All the best.
Interesting - and thanks for sharing Kenneth. I'll be mindful of the subtle differences henceforth. Ian
5:19 did he really group "Hinduism" with devil worship? Wow! These old stories crack me up how they can be so open minded about occultism then in the next sentence be ignorantly prejudice in the next!
Funny even Shintoism is occult evil in these old tales. Anything that isn't Christian lol
A good story, but it is a shame that Howard invokes Shintoism in such a slanderous manner. But I suppose he was not acquainted with it well enough to know that it is generally benign, insomuch as religions are concerned.
He was a massive racist and xenophobe so yea very ignorant
It was very well written but the story itself was rather bland and predictable.
